    As two female travellers I think it's worth mentioning the location. We enjoyed that it was an authentic local area and we felt very safe, however being two women stepping out onto the street without a man was uncomfortable. A lot of men would stop and shout at us and approach us in the street, which was more than in any other parts of town. We learnt quickly to order Ubers inside the building and wait inside until the driver arrives and then walk out to get directly in the car. For us we didn't enjoy that part of the location. It felt safe, just uncomfortable. That's no fault of the guesthouse but we feel women should be aware of this when booking so that they can decide if it's for them.

    The staff are fantastic. They're very sweet and helpful people. The inside of the apartment is nice and clean. We enjoyed the pyramid view and watching the world go by from the balcony

    Isis Guest House welcomed me when I arrived a little earlier in the morning. I must say that the place is impeccable in terms of cleanliness, with super comfortable beds, a nice and spacious common area, and best of all, the most amazing views of the pyramids, either from the balcony or the rooftop. The surroundings are very safe, in a local neighborhood, and access to the building is also very secure. You can reach the pyramids area in just less than 20 minutes on foot. Although I only spent one night, the time I shared with the staff learning about Egypt and the culture was priceless. Thank you for everything... Can't wait to go back :)

    Great view of the pyramids from the terrace and room. Very quiet location, although only about 1.5 km on foot from the main entrance to the pyramids, it is not a touristy area. We were able to stroll through the streets in peace and enjoy our drinks in normal cafés at normal prices. And we really liked it there.

    The guest house is in the poor area, so it does not look wonderful from the street.

    The staff were polite, friendly, and very helpful. Because there are only a few rooms, it has a family atmosphere, so it is easy to talk to other guests. The view of the pyramids is outstanding!

    Everything met or surpassed my expectations. Showers were a little tight for a tall guy like myself, but I managed to make it work.

    Great accommodation and a perfect location and view of the Giza pyramids from the balconies. The surrounding area is safe and a nearby marketplace ensures that you can buy some fresh fruits and vegetables or stop at a cafe without any trouble. The host and all of the staff were very welcoming and helpful, as well as providing inexpensive opportunities to see the surrounding areas and sites. The included breakfast was also very good. I am certain I will return here someday in the future.

    Highly recommended! It was hard to find a good accomodation in Giza. A lot of others look they have fake reviews. This guesthouse surprised us and exceeded our expectations (already got used to Egyptian standards). It's really clean, comfortable and the view from the common balcony is amazing. It's not in the first row to the pyramids but you have a great view to them. You can go by walk or take a tuktuk there. Local restaurants and shops are around. The staff is nice, one of them is French woman speaking fluent English and we had a very nice talk every morning during the breakfast. I think it's she who sets more over European standards of cleanless in this guesthouse. The breakfast is also very nice. If you need, they can arrange you trips you want (we didn't use,just the option is there).

    -The internet only reaches around reception and the lounge which was very frustrating. You might get some weak signal in a few rooms -location was a bit dodgy to get to the accommodation, and it’s about 18 to 20 minutes walk to the pyramids, so it’s walkable -The room was very simple, with a tiny window on the top corner overbooking electrical cables and unfinished buildings from the area. So you don’t get to enjoy any pleasant view or day light, so I found it very depressing. Internet was super weak in the room and you can hear all the other guests and the staff from the room

    The view from the main balcony, where you can see from the distance the 3 Pyramids were amazing. You get a free welcome drink on your arrival, which is a cup of Egyptian tea; after that you have to pay for any extra hot drink, or bring your own. Although Ahmed offered me free tea sometimes.
